Abstract

Background and Aims

Siblings play a crucial role in shaping and guiding the experiences of their brother or sister with a disability across the lifespan. However, little is known about the positive outcomes of their roles and experiences as siblings. Understanding the positive outcomes challenges stereotypes and the stigma associated with disabilities and allows for a more holistic view of sibling experiences.

Methods

We conducted a survey with 140 adult siblings of people with disabilities to explore their strengths, resilience and community belonging.

Results

We found that siblings highly rated their perceived strengths across various domains. Furthermore, siblings maintained high levels of resilience and most belonged to various organisations for social support. We also noted several strengths-based factors that predicted siblings' resilience.

Conclusion

Our findings offer significant insights into siblings' inherent and developed strengths and the role of community networks in promoting sibling resilience and expanding their support systems.

探索智力和发育障碍人士兄弟姐妹的优势和复原力。

背景和目的：兄弟姐妹在塑造和引导残疾兄弟姐妹一生的经历方面起着至关重要的作用。然而，人们对他们作为兄弟姐妹的角色和经历所产生的积极结果知之甚少。了解他们的积极成果将对与残疾有关的陈规定型观念和污名化提出挑战，并能更全面地了解兄弟姐妹的经历：我们对 140 名成年残疾人兄弟姐妹进行了调查，以了解他们的优势、复原力和社区归属感：结果：我们发现，残疾兄弟姐妹对自己在各个领域的优势都有很高的评价。此外，兄弟姐妹们保持着较高的抗逆力，而且大多数兄弟姐妹都加入了各种社会支持组织。我们还注意到一些基于优势的因素可以预测兄弟姐妹的复原力：我们的研究结果为了解兄弟姐妹的固有优势和发展优势以及社区网络在促进兄弟姐妹的抗逆力和扩大其支持系统方面的作用提供了重要启示。
